This Halloween you may see more hippies with Lava lamps than witches with jack-o'-lanterns. How do we know? We asked visitors to our website what they planned to be for Halloween. Some of the 183 kids who replied had far-out costume ideas (a Picasso artwork, a Radio Shack salesperson). Here are the most popular choices:
1. Hippie
2. Cheerleader
3. Darth Vader
4. Cat
5. Vampire
